Corgi RAF Se5a, Capt W.A. Billy Bishop, Royal Flying Corps, No60 Squadron, Summer 1917. AA37702

REF:AA37702 - Scale 1:48 - Wingspan 168mm - New Release - New Tooling - Limited Edition

The Royal Flying Corps' top-scoring WWI ace was Billy Bishop, a Canadian, who scored 72 victories. Awarded the Victoria Cross, he was the first pilot to surpass the record of famed British Ace Albert Ball. McCudden, Ball, Bishop, Mannock, and many other British aces found the SE5a was at last the aircraft they could fight on equal terms with the German Albatros.
Soon after they were delivered, Lieutenant A.P.F. Rhys Davids, flying with No 5 Squadron, brought down Werner Voss, von Richthofen's famous number two. Although just a single victory, it was an enormous boost to Allied morale and an early scalp for the SE5a, which, despite its rugged, almost over-simple appearance, was destined to become one of the most successful British aircraft of the World War I.
